Scientists in the United States have made an extremely precise measurements of unstable ruthenium ...

A new detector combines a laser with a mass spectrometer to provide on-the-spot analysis that researchers hope will have applications ranging from evaluating a tumor as it is removed to quickly ...

For the engineer or scientist using spectroscopic laser diagnostics to investigate gas-phase media or plasmas, this book is an excellent resource for gaining a deeper understanding of the physics of ...

A research team led by professor GAO Xiaoming from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a near-infrared (NIR) dual-channel oxygen-corrected laser ...

This field encompasses advanced techniques that utilise laser light to selectively ionise heavy atoms, including actinides and super-heavy elements, thereby facilitating the investigation of their ...

Recently, a research team led by Professor GAO Xiaoming from Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a new type of ...

For decades, bulky spectrometers have been the main tools for understanding how things are made of chemicals (a thing called composition). Spectrometers are a type of lab equipment that uses prisms or ...

Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in everyday life. The processes taking place inside these materials are the subject ...

Here at Hackaday, we love projects that result in useful lab equipment for a fraction of the cost of professional gear. [Lorenz], over at Advanced Tinkering, built his own instrument for Laser-Induced ...
